Farmers in the North-east of Scotland are remarkably bullish about their future, according to a survey carried out by farming magazine, Farm North East. The results of the survey are based on responses from a small representative sample of farmers from Ross-shire to Angus/Perthshire, but mostly Aberdeenshire, who responded to a questionnaire seeking their views on Brexit and future agricultural policy and plans for their own farming businesses. All respondents were mixed livestock, or mixed arable farmers and although selected randomly were representative of farming in the area. Almost all, though, saw an independent Scotland as a backward step for farming.
